Training Prevents Mistakes And Attacks Threats

Operations, processes and communications is continuing to be a problem in security especially when there are security threats and vulnerabilities that have successfully interrupted business operations such as terrorist threats in airline traffic.  What is most prominent in the problems identifying security threats is back to basics; training.  Technological advancements, innovative infiltration of assets and more has provoked more and more emphasis on basic security training in various areas.


Keep security officers aware of technology advancements can assist in situational awareness in business communities, event coverage, public and private facilities, and more.  Cell phones with new mobile applications that can be developed to act as a remote trigger for many home made bombs is a serious and true threat by terrorist groups that want to disrupt events or public areas.  Impostors that want to gain access to secure facilities to cause major intrusions in computer systems must be identified through thorough security checks to prevent these types of security interruptions. Even the lack of communication on small problems that may not be considered high level threats could lead to possible bigger security threats because it is a planned diversion.


All these scenarios can surely be prevented through diligent training in basic security education. Being aware of your surrounding, your client's company policies in access and security procedures as well as reaction training can help facilitate security officers procedures into effective responses.  No matter how minute a problem may appear, if security officers are following standard operating procedures, a problem can be identified immediately because it is out of the ordinary of the daily routine. These types of training is not and should never be a one time training course. Because of the aggressive nature of security threats to not only government organizations and facilities, the private sector is just as vulnerable and can pose more destructive to those criminal elements to government entities. Continuous training that adapts to the changes in technological advancement, communication with key personnel of your client staff and following client guidelines and policies can ensure preventive attacks are in place so that the response is legally direct and cautiously swift.  Protecting your assets requires a strong defense and progressive training.

How Contract Security Can Calm The Emotions of Civil Unrest

Unemployment, natural disasters, terrorists threats can produce very destructive emotions and cause civil unrest in the work place, major transportation hubs (airport, train stations, etc.), and in the community during events or even natural disasters. The presence of security alone brings order to a chaotic environment. Having checkpoints in place provides organization and a sense a calm in times of disorder. Lately in the news, we hear of of violence in the workplace due to employers going through a reduction in workforce.  Emotions are heightened and companies must go through the event in protecting those innocent current and former employees as well as other companies if residing in a multi-use building.  Saber Security Officers are trained in providing security support during particular times and understand the sensitivity of what may transpire and are ready to react appropriately to delegate immediate response while maintaining stability.

With the recent storms and earthquakes that have hit various regions in the world, emergency response services are usually tied up with more pressing matters and could always use help in securing perimeter area while law enforcement agencies are needed in protecting more vital area such as hospitals and addressing unruly subjects.  Saber's security officers is always ready to assist in these trying times and provide that extra needed support where regular emergency response agencies are often strained in resources. Additionally, security offers a sense or order when people are unsure of what is supposed to do. A go to point can also allow emergency response agencies to inform one location to disseminate information to a central location when there is always a possibility of misinformation especially when it has to pass through many channels.

Security support is necessary in these times when resources from federal, state and local agencies are strained and need to focus on critical directives of their areas.  Stability and calmness is precipitated when the environment's temperament is calming and organized. Remember that securing your assets in unruly times can mean whether you rebuild or close shop all together. Security is no longer an option, but a necessity to maintain structure in unsuspecting events.

Stormy Mix In Security Operations

The first full week of 2010 has been a rough one as far as weather is concerned. The entire country has been tackling a major winter storm which was challenging for the southeast region.  But, with all the wintry challenges, companies’ operations and staffing has been dangerously interrupted.  When you have this type of disruption, vulnerabilities become more prominent and must be addressed immediately before any threats are presented. 

As many businesses overlook operational threats, in these times when threats become real very quickly, businesses must have backup and recovery procedures in place, rehearsed periodically so that if the need arise, execution can be smooth and without loss of assets.  With the many ice storms that hit the southeast, it can affect deliveries/transportation, power lines (electrical outages) that can knock out computer and security systems and even reduce staff to bare minimum leaving an opening for many threats.  If you don’t have a backup/recovery plan in place, threats can be real-time intrusions that can not only intrude in your daily operations, but increase your asset loss.

Although Saber provides many of our customers with protective services through security officers, we have found that having immediate operational backup through available professional staffing can have such a strong effect in asset security; asset, not just in business intelligence, but operational reliance. 2010 will pose many challenges, but Saber is always prepared to work with clients to ensure their assets are protected.
